Scope and content

Explains that he has been in bed since he received Sidgwick's note, and would have acknowledged it sooner otherwise. Thanks him for giving him 'an early intimation of the proposal made by the Council of the Senate; and also for the manifestation of sympathetic feeling contained' in his expressions. Regrets that he cannot respond in the way Sidgwick would like him to.
